Title: VGCollect's Big News
Post by: burningdoom on January 24, 2021, 11:54:07 pm
Can't reply in the News section, so thought I'd start a thread here about it.

Anyone care to speculate on what they think this big news might be? I know I'm curious.

Any admin want to tease us with some more clues?

Have no idea, but cool to have been here for almost 7 years of this 10 year anniversary lol Should be fun.

As for the big news...visual website overhaul? I'm really not sure what to expect.

Excuse my pessimism, but I'm hoping it's not something to the effect that you're selling the site off and it's changing hands, i.e Nintendo Age / Sega Age. Pity what happened to those places. "Go Collect" is a farce of a once great site. But I know you guys wouldn't do that to us.

Secret Summer Santa??

I had designs to do something like this for a while now, a Secret Santa Christmas in July or something to that effect. Announce it on April 1st, then have everyone wrap up with "Christmas" being July 4th.  :P

I’m pretty much ready, just trying to nail down a time that is good for all involved. Expect something soon-ish.

Oh, and I feel like I should clarify one thing. The “big” part of this is the giveaways. We have several hundred dollars worth of stuff that we’re giving away. There’s some news that I think people will like, but it’s not THAT big. The site isn’t being sold or anything like that, so don’t worry.

The good news is there is several hundred dollars worth of giveaways.

The bad news is it’s all Phillips CDi controllers and hotel Mario loose discs.

Sorry I’m spoiling it TPug. I just can’t bear to see you string these nice folks along like that. ;-)

Also, don’t worry about the site ever shutting down folks.

I would attempt to buy it before letting that happen.

It took me a few days to get through the whole stream video, between work and kids I just don't have the time to sit down and watch something for 3 hours  :P

Anyway, I appreciate the Pro subscription! I made it down to the last few names for the grand prize.

It's nice to put faces to the names I've seen on here. To answer your question, yes my screen name is a combination of pro wrestling and Transformers. I actually never made the connection to Metroid Prime until you brought it up :D Transformers are my "main" collection, with games being more of a "side" collection. Tripredacus is a member of the same TF forum I'm on.

You guys talked about physical vs digital, and I'm kind of in the same boat in that I would much prefer physical, because then I don't have to worry about my console hard drive failing, but some of those online store deals are just too good to pass up. In a recent sale I got the Castlevania Anniversary Collection for $5 on PSN; that's a steal.

That a great game to own :)

I actually played Chex Quest before. using a Zdoom engine called Zandronum, if you want to play that on a modern windows PC I highly recommend going to Zanronum's website and download   Zandronum. once you download if you want to find the .WAD file on the Chex Quest Disc or CD. and and only copy and paste that file it into a  folder on your hardrive. than install Zandronum and tell the program where the Chex.WAD file. than you should be good to go, there is some newer blood and graphic options when using Zandronum you otherwise not have with just the standard game by itself.

From what I remember you can run the following games off the Zandronum engine.

1:Ultimate Doom
2: Doom 2
3: Final Doom Platunia Experment
4: Final Doom TNT
5:Chex Quest 1
6: Chex Quest 3
7: Freedoom
8: Strife
9: Heritic SW
10: Heretic Shadow Of The Serpent Riders(full version of game)
11: MegaMan 8-bit Deathmatch
12: Hexen
13: Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
14: Strife: Veteran Edition
15: Strife (Full)
16: Doom "BFG Edition"
17: French Doom II
and many more (free to play games) here is the link to all the games listed and free to play and download ones

https://zdoom.org/wiki/IWAD

HERE IS A LINK TO THE FREE ENGINE CALLED ZANDRONUM (formally known as Skulltag)
https://zandronum.com/

according to IWad site in the first link what you have there @ferraroso is a rare PC game once sold inside Chex Cereal Boxes and is therefore no longer sold legally, good game hope I can help if you want to play that game. just so you know it's a first person shooter game like the original Doom games were

sorry to but in but I had to say something, because that is a great thing to have.
